    Ok. I didn't really want to go here, but lets all get in our time machine and head on back to 2009 for a stance vs track argument.

    The function of this car is to be a daily-driven show car. It will never race, never appear to race, and will never see a track. It's an automatic KIA Forte for the love of God.

    Canibeat is a stance blog. We feature stanced cars. I've been wanting to feature a non-Genesis KIA/Hyundai for awhile, because its a brand new scene that very few people are involved in. This car is currently the most advanced and innovative stanced KIA in the world AFAIK.

    If this car was an Civic Si and was modded the same way, would it be featured? Absolutely not.

    1. Unique car.
    2. Quality parts/build
    3. Correct stance

    Those three together will usually get you a feature on any stance site.

    I have to add this, when I and many other people say it's not functional, that doesn't mean it should function on the track. If you need to change a route or modify your driveway entrance for your slammed car, your car is not functional. That's just my own opinion of course and I personally could care less what people want to do.

    As for the car in question, the Forte looks better than many other cars in its class, or older Civics with a similar wheel setup. I don't think it's ugly or anything, not my cup of tea with the whole 90s poke thing and tire stretch but I don't even remotely care for the whole "stance" scene so of course it wouldn't be my cup of tea.
